Remus's Sister (Regulus Black)

Chapter 14: The Stars

Mor had been thinking about Regulus' letter the rest of the day. She wondered why he wanted to meet. Especially since he was the one who didn't like sharing personal information and talking about feelings.

Was this him admitting he likes hanging out with her?

No. She shouldn't jump to conclusions. For all she knew he could be asking her up there to kill her.  

Wait too far, maybe not kill.

Hopefully not kill. 

These thoughts vanished from Mor's head quickly as she made her way up to the astronomy tower. All she could think about now was his breath on her neck as he whispered to her in class and those blue eyes that were so bright they looked like stars.

Oh god what has she gotten herself into. How could she like a guy who was a deatheater?

Mor shook the thought out of her head. No she couldn't like him, this was pure physical attraction and there's no harm in staring at someone so beautiful.

Mor had finally made it up the steps to the astronomy tower and opened the great wooden doors that lead out the balcony. She could see Regulus leaning against the railing looking out at the landscape. Her eyes trailed down noticing that he was only wearing a black short sleeve which gave her a great view of his toned arms. 

Wow.  He was Beautiful. That's the only way to describe this boy who had no flaws.

"Do you like the view?" Regulus said with a smirk.

Mor quickly looked up at him, her cheeks reddening from embarrassment but she quickly recovered and started to walk towards him. "It's a beautiful night out. You can see all the stars tonight."

Mor joined Regulus in leaning against the railing. Their bodies only inches from eachother.

Regulus turned towards her and asked, "Do you know all the constellations?"

Mor smiled, "of course. I used to sit on the roof of my house at night and watch the stars. My brother used to tell me about all the constellations. His favorite was always Canis Major because it has the dog star Sirius."

Regulus laughed slightly but covered it up with a cough and said, "what was your favorite?"

Mor was now looking him right in the eyes. Standing so close to him was making her skin feel electric. She came up with a random constellation and said, "I was always a fan of Cassiopeia." Of course her real favorite was Leo because it held the Regulus star, the brightest star in its constellation. But she would never tell him that.

"Sure it is, " Regulus smirked at her. As if he knew that she was lying. 

"Well what is your favorite constellation?" Mor asked curiously.

"Lupus," regulus answered confidently. "The wolf constellation always seemed powerful in my opinion."

Mor smiled. She couldn't help but feel warm inside. Maybe he said it because he really liked the star or maybe he said it because her last name was Lupin or maybe he knew her secret.

But he didn't know her secret. How could he? No one did. The dark lord kept what happened to her the night she was taken a secret. To make sure he had a secret weapon to use if he needed it.

Mor pushed the thought aside. "So why did you want me to meet you? And how did you get that letter in my pocket?"

"Ah well I can't tell all my secrets. What would be the fun in that?" Regulus laughed. "But I can tell you why I wrote it. I wanted to see you."

Mors breath caught. "That's it. You just wanted to see me."

Regulus held eye contact with her. It felt like he was staring into her soul. "Yeah I just wanted to see you. I wanted to see your hair. Your face. Your eyes..." He paused an took a deep breath "Those damn eyes."
